A prism is a generic term which refers to a 3-dimensional object with two congruent faces which are joined together by a face or faces. A cylinder, for example, is a crystal. Furthermore, the shape of the cross section depends on the inclination of the slicing plane.

That would depend on the specific type of prism, and also on how you slice it.
